KTP

The KTP 2025 Conference, hosted in Manchester from the 28th to the 30th October 2025, will bring together all parts of the KTP community to connect, collaborate and celebrate 50 years of Knowledge Transfer Partnerships.

To mark this landmark anniversary, the KTP Practitioner and KTP Associate Conferences are running as a combined event for the first time, and KTP academics and researchers will form a key part of our audience. Innovate UK are also inviting all conference delegates to attend the Knowledge Transfer Partnership Awards 2025 (free of charge), which will be hosted at the Conference venue on the 28th October 2025.
